These mostly plain-weave napkins have a few stripes of basketweave in both warp and weft. Susan wove them using 6-shafts and two colors of navy. But, with the variety of 8/2 cotton colors available, we challenge you to design your own set, maybe using that huge cone of cotton you have left over from a past project and some smaller cones of coordinating colors that are cluttering up your stash.

About: Susan E. Horton, former editor of Handwoven, has been weaving and amassing a stash of cotton for about 30 years. Although using all that stash in her lifetime is probably impossible, she is making a stab at using some of it.
